If you haven't heard already, this week is KWUR's Hustle Week–and tonight from 8pm to 8am we're bringing you some very special programming for the Annual All Night Broadcast. Tune in to KWUR 90.3 and take part in a beloved KWUR tradition. Better yet, call in and share a favorite KWUR memory! Even better than that, call 314-935-5952 and make a donation to the station so we can keep freeform radio alive for Washington University and the surrounding community.

Programming highlights include:

8-9pm: Songs about radio and money.

9-10pm: Trainee Hour (Hear from our newest DJs.)

10-11pm: All-DJs Freeform Hour (Hear from DJs new and old.)

11pm-12am: Live in-studio featuring Britches

12-1am: KWUR House Band performs live on-air

1-4am: 36 Years of Debauchery (A rad jam from every year of KWUR's existence.)

It's the most magical time of the year! That's right folks, it's KWUR HUSTLE WEEK! Hustle Week is a beautiful time where you, our favorite listeners, get to show your favorite radio station a little love and affection. Radio isn't cheap, and we need your support to keep bringing you the great alternative music you love. As one of the last completely free-form stations in the country, KWUR needs your help to keep rocking as W…ashington University's best radio station. Anything you give will be a huge help in our quest to keep radio in St. Louis free.

We're hosting some fun and unique events, so be sure to tune in, stop by, and show your support!

This past Saturday, some of KWUR's most athletic DJs faced KSLU in the annual Kickball match at Tower Grove Park.
We put up a good fight and were even winning for a little bit. Only a few DJs kicked over the ball, to the relief of everyone.

Sadly, KWUR lost. But! We were still the team with all the Mike's Hard Lemonade.
